A compact, right-leaning serif with firmly bracketed wedge-like serifs and a broad-nib, calligraphic stress. Strokes feel sturdy and dark, with clear modulation that stays controlled rather than delicate, giving letters a crisp silhouette. Proportions are relatively tight, with narrow counters and a rhythm that emphasizes vertical momentum; curves are smooth and slightly taut, and terminals often finish in sharp, angled cuts. The lowercase shows a readable, moderate x-height with energetic ascenders/descenders, while figures appear lining with strong weight and decisive entry/exit strokes.
Works well for editorial headlines, magazine typography, and book or essay settings where a classic italic voice is needed. It’s also a strong choice for pull quotes, lead-ins, and subheads that benefit from compact width and a firm, traditional serif presence.
The overall tone is traditional and editorial, combining a bookish seriousness with a sense of forward motion from the italic slant. It reads as confident and authoritative, suited to content that wants to feel established, literary, or institutional rather than casual.
The design appears intended to deliver a conventional text-serif italic with a compact footprint and a strong, high-contrast-influenced calligraphic flavor. It prioritizes an assertive page color and crisp detailing to stay legible and expressive in both display lines and continuous reading.
The italic construction is pronounced enough to create a distinct texture in paragraph settings, with tight spacing and dark color that can feel emphatic at larger sizes. Sharp joins and angled terminals add crispness that supports display use, while the consistent serif treatment keeps it grounded for text.
